The Model 239-1F Floor Monitor is a gas proportional floor monitor detector mounted on a roll-around cart. The instrument features a flow system, quick-connects, a gas bottle mount, and a means to adjust the height of the detector from the floor for optimum performance. A nuclear counting gas bottle, gas regulator, and a survey instrument are required for the operation of the floor monitor.
See the Available Configurations tab for a list of compatible meters.
